If Life Gives You Lemons....

Sometimes there are days when I think "really, this can't be happening, right?". I know you know what I am talking about. You wake up early and as you drag yourself out of bed you manage to stub you toe on the corner of the bed frame, then while trying hard not to scream out loud every expletive that runs through your head, you get to the bathroom to wash your face and brush your teeth only to knock the tooth paste cap off the sink counter into the toilet. Yup, I have had more days start like that or some version of that more than I care to recount. So that is why when I saw this stamp set in the Annual Catalogue I had a little chuckled and knew I needed to order it:)

One of the best parts about this set is that there is a matching punch and coordinating sentiments to go inside the card as well. The 1 3/4 Circle punch will also punch out the orange slice.

How cute is this card?! I was totally inspired by the catalogue sample to use the Layered Leaves Textured Embossing Folder. The dry embossed leaves on Lemon Lime Twist cardstock create the perfect background for the fun citrus images. I only added two thin strips of DSP because I wanted the fruit images to be the focal point, and don't you just love how this sentiment fits so perfectly on the lemon?

As I had mentioned earlier, the perfect sentiment for the inside of the card too!

Sometimes I have bad days and I sit and reflect on what is happening in the world and to those around me. This usually helps put things into perspective, but then there are other days that I want to chuck those lemons (and other things) and that is okay too;)
